I/4U3? SPECIAL smitf‘jStell

CHAPTER THIRTY If Marte hadn’t been so upset when she left the luncheon party, she would never have taken the fateful yellow car. But Luigi's approach was deft and respectful, aa he detached himself from a group of chauffeurs chatting on the garden aide of the Casino. He had the ear there —ready. It wouldn't have taken much to change Marie's mind about the visit to La I. a scar. Hhe looked first toward the Neresa. Practically everyone had left her yacht; everyone but Tony Worth. Why hadn't he turned up? How could she know that, at this particular time, Tony had locked himself in Northeim's suite, and was anxiously watching her through binoculars. How could she know that there was mutiny on the yacht? As Marie stepped into the car. she told herself that, if Tony had been at the luncheon, she wouldn't have made that scene. Rut at least, in so vehemently denying any engagement to the Marchese Lippi, she had cleared the air. She would telephone the Fosters, at J uan les Pins, that night; and ask them if she eould spend a few days at their villa. That was it. Felix Northeim and Lippi would then have no further excuse for staying on the Serena. Automatically, they would cease being her guests, because she would be someone else's guest. Luigi veered eff the main road, and up a short hill. The Baroness Lascar's Villa Rose stood at the end of the branching road. It was a small, square, one-storied house, stuccoed in pink, with wide windows and flowering vines. Two flr* flanked a most grown path; the air was heavy with roses and mimosa. Marie leaned forward. "Thank yon, Luigi," she said, slipping a thousand-franc bill inn, the ready hand he lifted from the wheel. *'! want you to wait for me.” She went on, with some slight hesitation, "But. Luigi, please don't mention to anyone where I’ve been thia afternoon. I—it’s a private matter, you understand.” Luigi didn’t wait. So swiftly did he turn the ear and make off, that surprise lingered in Marie's expression aa she walked up the path. The door opened on a pink sliver es hall, leading straight through to a garden door. The woman who let Marie in, said, hospitably. "Madame la Baroness is expecting you." She drew aside gray silk curtains, and Marie entered a charming sitting room, with a view on the road and the distant harbor. The furBishings were ash rose. As she was admiring a luminous water-color on the gray plastered walls, Madame I-ascar's dusky voice sounded from behind. "My dear child, how good of you to come!" Marie took the eool, outstretched hand. "1 wasn’t sure I eould make it," she said They stood looking at each other. Marie thought, with instant sympathy: She’s lovelier than 1 remembered, and she's terribly worried about something. "You thought it perhaps strange that I have made sueh a mystery about this little visit?” Madams moved away from the light. Her delicate skin showed marks of sleepless night*. Before Marie eould answer, La Laaear added alowly, "I’m aorry Luigi brought you bare. Doea Felix Northeim know—where you are?” "Os course, he doesn’t." Maria remained by the window. When Madame Lascar didn't speak, Marie continued in a puxxled tone. "I can’t understand why Luigi didn’t wait, though. I told him—" She stopped aa Madame Ijucar swept back across the room. The thin arch of her lips was brilliant against her white face and tightfitting Mack robe. "We will forget Luigi," she said with forced ffgMff. "Anna will ’phone for a taxi when you are ready. Unfortunately, 1 do pot have a car.” She took one of Marie's hands in hers. “Do you knew how lucky you are? So young and enchanting — rich — and in love.” She sighed. "But I’m not in love!” Marie exclaimed, then added, “At least, I don't think I ata.” Madame Lascar let go of hat

hand. "But surely, you and the Marchese Lippi—” Marie exclaimed, In honest disgust, “Have you got that idea, too? I'm getting terribly sick of hearing It." She walked away from the woman who was looking at her with such intense eyes. But the Baroness Laaear followed her, and asked in a voice so low that Marie had to swing around to catch the words, “Then it w Felix —yes? May I congratulate you?” • • • It was a quarter past two that afternoon when Felix Northeim and the Marchese Lippi set off with frantic baste for Madame Itaacar'a villa, where Luigi had left Marie Schuyler. Eric Thelme saw them go- He had been hanging around the Croisette, unwilling to report to the man who supposedly owned him body and soul. Eric was decidedly drunk, which was exactly what he wanted to be Ever since he left the Schuyler yacht, he had been tormented by remorse. Looking acroas the harbor of Cannea at the beautiful white ship, which only appeared to rest peacefully in the June radianee, Thelme’s inflamed mind conjured up pictures he would have given anything to forget... Tony Worth was a regular. A decent egg, who had been friendly. And what had he, Eric, done in return? Knocked him out; tied and gagged him, and left him in his eabin at the mercy of Fritz and that sinister Jap. But Northeim had said, Eric argued in his fuddled head, that it was only for a few hours; that it was a matter of getting certain papers off the Serena without interference. Any child eould soon be free of the knots Erie had tied ao loosely. So what was he worrying about? Erie didn’t know. He had gone straight from the yacht to an out-of-the-way buvette, and ordered double whiskey*, suddenly recalling his past which Northeim held ever him like a whip. You couldn’t put a big fellow like himself in jail for a braggart career with a few slips sueh as checks and cards and a choice of fine names. But you eouU. The purple veins in Eric’s cheeks swelled. He managed his hugs body carefully, as he left the haven of the buvette. Not only did Erie see Northeim and Lippi drive away, with Luigi at the wheel, but he noticed Friedrich Haensel and Sergei Vorodkin walking along toward the Carlton Hotel. Erie wondered who they were. He watched them stop and look toward the Serena. Haensel, stocky and eurt, was saying, "Well give him until tomorrow." Vorodkin nodded. "If It weren’t for certain things— great changes to come—l would have nothing to do with these — capitalists I” he spat. "And I would have nothing to do with yon, either, Herr Haensel. * The German squared his shoul®*f’* '/«. Communist and Nasi shall always hate each other," he agreed. "But Northeim’s agency and his clearing house may be very convenient to us both .7. to our governments, I’m sure. Our police will watch him, never fear." “And ours.” Vorodkin gave a last angry look at the yacht. "Feu make wars. We taka advantage of them. The world situation is giving us what ws want, and the world doesn’t know it yet." After a brief pause, the Russian remarked, Oiw main danger ia a prosperous, God-inspired Anterica. Yow danger is any and ail nations in favor of democracies. Wo both want—" “A trues" . , . Raenset said, frowning . . . "between the Reich and Soviet governments." Suddenly, a shot cracked over the waters, seeming to eome from ths Serena. It was too remote to be followod op by any visiMs agitation on shore Yet it smacked upon Erie Th el me'a consciousness and 1 promptly bo hired a boatman, di- ' roetißff that he be taken to the yneht. If anyone had hurt Tony I Wbrth—. ' ' Haensel and Vorodkin also heard < the shot They looked at each other, i and shrugged. Violence was not un- I known to them in the pursuit of their purpeoee.
